The Other Hundred Entrepreneurs is a unique photo-book showcasing
the stories of everyday entrepreneurs whose achievements deserve to
be celebrated, part of a unique global initiative to provide a
counterpoint to the mainstream media consensus about some of
today's most important issues. Instead of conventional success
stories about tech billionaires and elite MBAs, the book contains
100 stories of everyday people who have started businesses, big and
small, and taken control of their lives. These entrepreneurs run
their own businesses without ever hiring an investment bank,
planning an exit strategy, dreaming of an IPO or even receiving a
loan. Together, these portraits from all over the world present a
more representative picture of entrepreneurship than the one we get
from the covers of Forbes, Fortune or SUCCESS Magazine. The first
book in The Other Hundred initiative celebrated a richly diverse
selection of ordinary people living extraordinary lives all over
the world.

The Forbes 100, the Fortune 500, Bloomberg's Billionaire
Index...the list of rich lists is endless. Here instead are the
stories of The Other Hundred - those people who aren't among the
world's rich, but whose lives should be celebrated. Chosen by a
world-renowned judging panel of Stephen Wilkes ,Richard Hsu, and
Ruth Eichhorn, the 100 stunning photographs that comprise The Other
Hundred provide glimpses into the lives of real people and their
struggles, triumphs, hopes and dreams.
Over the last few decades, there has been a dramatic increase in
the expectation of life of people. But this extension of life also
has brought about a change in the morbidity pattern that the number
of years lived with some form of disability or ailment has also
increased. The health transition in Kerala had occupied
centre-stage in the study of the relationship between mortality and
morbidity. Though life expectancy has increased due to reduction in
mortality rates, the changes in morbidity and its influence on life
expectancy were less clear. This book discusses the methodology
adopted to compute active life expectancy using primary data and
gives a comprehensive picture of the mortality and morbidity
scenario of the states of Kerala, India. The book will particularly
be useful to researchers and those who are interested in studies on
mortality and morbidity of humans.
